Dave Chappelle

So it's good to have somebody that, you know, I mean, not to say she didn't let me mourn my career, but she also helped remind me that my life is about more than myself.

And for someone that's like, you know, your wife, ideally the best time she's at your shoulder.

And for someone at your shoulder to remind you of that.

And it's like, you know, and then I had to think about it.

Like, well, I guess technically she lost the money too.

And you know what?

We also always had what we needed.

I never really worried about money.

Now what happens is when a guy gets famous, they upgrade everything.

That's when they get a new wife and a new house and a new this and a new that.

Man, we're everything the same.

which allowed us to do stuff like this when we did get money.

It's like, you know, why upgrade our house when we can upgrade the town we're living in?

Yeah, I said something to the effect, and it's true.

At that time, my idea was we should build a lifestyle that I can feel more secure in maintaining so that I can be courageous.

And she's from Brooklyn.

She didn't have any friends out here like that or any of that stuff.

And we moved down here.

At first, it was just me and her and our kids.

And I'm sure that's tough, giving up your social life.
